Amorphota, n. sp. 



A species referred to this genus is found in Mr. Taylor's collection, but 

 it has been damaged, and the abdomen is now missing. It is therefore 

 not advisable to describe the species until further material is received. 

 There is a possibility of its having been described as a Limneria.
